I'm Isabella, Isabella Volturi. I am a hybrid, my family was killed in a battle against the Volturi, and so, here I am. Did I mention I'm a hybrid? So I don't look as breath-taking as my family, but I like to think in pretty. I have dark brown, super curly hair, and golden eyes (I only eat animals). I'm small. Like 5'1 small. I kinda have a gift, if you can call it that. I can more or less shield myself, both physically and mentally. Aro, who's like my father, says I need to stop "self degrading", and Demetri's worse! Whenever I so much as mention it, he starts going on about how perfect I am. He's so sweet. Then there's Jane & Alec, the "witch twins". Jane, is my best friend. Alec, he likes to prank me. A lot. Like everyday. He can't block my senses, but he can still dump things on me. Like water. Or, in one disturbing occurrence, a bucket of sewer water. How he got that is beyond me, and everyone really. Jane says I brought life back to the castle, but I don't get that. From what I've heard from Felix (my gossip friend, surprising I know) Didyme, Marcus's mate, was killed, and she was Aro's sister. But did they never get over her? I guess not.. But now Marcus smiles, and everyone says he hasn't done that since before the "incident". Being a hybrid has its perks. For instance, sleeping. I love sleeping (who doesn't?!), and I can survive on human food. But Aro finds it "horrid and revolting", so I'm stinking to animal blood. The downsides of being (essentially) the vampires princess? Turning "17". In actual ages, I'm 5. But I grow quick. Back to turning 17. Aro thought sixteen was too young, and eighteen too old. So, my seventeenth is my "coming out". Whipee. Gianna's taking me shopping for 3 dresses. One for dancing, one for my song, and one for the introduction. God help me. I'm thinking reds and blacks.
"Gianna?" I call out
"Yes Izzy?"
"How about red and black?"
A smile spreads across her face "I love it! Ooh! I could pull your hair up and.." I zoned out, lost in my blurry memories. God, she sounds like Alice. Wait Alice? Who's Alice? Backtrack a little Izzy, search your mind... "Iz! Are you even listening?"
I blush "No, sorry I zoned out. Again."
She smiles "Remembering again?"
"Yea. I keep thinking off..nevermimd"
"No way! Don't leave me hanging! What are you thinking about?!"
"Yes, now I'm intrigued as well" Alec came around the corner, tousling my hair
I rolled my eyes "You act like I'm talking about law and order" (I got everyone hooked on it)
"Don't bring my babies into this!" Alec argues, fake crying
Gianna and I start hysterically laughing, causing Aro to come around. There's me on the floor, Gianna rolling her head with laughter, and Alec fake crying in the corner, god I can only imagine what he's thinking.
He looks from one of us to another "Do I want to know?"
Alec stops "crying", "No, probably not" He grins, showing off the fake plastic, Halloween vampire teeth.
"Very mature Alec" Aro laughs, before heading off in the opposite direction.
"So, what were you remembering anyway?" Gianna persists, damn she doesn't give up easy
"More of a who. I only got her first name though."
"That's still great! Who?" She reaches over to squeeze my hand in encouragement.
"I...I don't know. Just the name. Alice."
I swear Alec's jaw hit the floor. "What?"
"Alice" it came out as a question though
"What do you remember?" He nearly hisses
"Just her name. And that she likes shopping"
He sighs, looking relieved "Ah, that's okay. I'm sorry, I just panicked"
I laugh "Why?"
"I honestly have no idea" He left quick, throwing a quick wave over his shoulder
I turned to Gianna "What was that?"
She rolled her eyes "I have absolutely no idea"
